Timber is used in construction like never before. This results in a strong demand for timber that complies with applicable requirements in the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s (Boverket) BBR such as SP-Fire 105 or Euro class B – requirements which must be met to guarantee a safe construction.

Using fire-retardant treated timber in exterior environments, for example, in timber facades, means it is subjected to the elements on a daily basis. If the properties of the fire-retardant agent cannot withstand the stresses, it leaches out from the timber. Thus the protective properties also disappear.

This is avoided with Woodsafe Exterior WFX, that gives permanent fire protection – completely without demands on surface treatment. This is guaranteed by the test method EN16755 EXT (Durability of Fire Performance).
